The best sushi restaurant in the South Bay. First time here will never go anywhere else ! Excellent !!! Barbara read more

Classic, Authentic, Fresh Sushi from an amazing Sushi Chef. I am a Sushi snob so I generally call ahead and make sure the Chef has Japanese Uni, O-Toro(not chi-toro, or toro) Quail Egg, Masago. This Chef has all the fine cuts, very reasonably priced as opposed to other Sushi restaurants with the same quality of fish, I imagine due to the fact the actual lease is a little cheaper and that is passed through to the customer. The Chef is amazing and I cannot rave enough. By far my favorite Sushi Restaurant in the South Bay, and one of my favorites in Los Angeles for sure! Aaron from the Hollywood Hills read more

Kurisaki - Chef Kurasaki, Classic Japanese Decor. - Japanese Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

They are a solid sushi experience, as evidenced by the friendly staff and repeat customers who all have their favorites, including the numerous handrolls consumed by the table next to us, and the fact that they were booked solid-- good luck getting in without a reservation! However for omakase, given the price, I was not particularly impressed-- not enough to stand out. Kamasu (barracuda), kanpachi (amberjack), even a very good hotate (giant scallop) from Hokkaido-- and some very good toro all might make for an excellent experience, but with so much competition here in Los Angeles it's (honestly a good problem to have as a diner!) that much harder to stand out when the bar is that high. read more

Sushi was good quality. Tried the Santa Bárbara sweet shrimp and it was delicious. would definitely one back here again. But pricey but for quality and service, worth it. read more

Kurisaki - Uno, okupa and spicy tuna - Japanese Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I took my grown children here tonight as a treat. And we weren't disappointed! The service from start to finish was outstanding. The pace of the coursing was perfect and very relaxing. The server, who took care of the six tables was pleasant, efficient and explained every dish to us. The food was outstanding and from my experience of eating sushi in Japan, of equal greatness. We ordered the ten piece assortment which included salad, soup and a hand roll in addition to the ten pieces of sushi. Each piece was better than the next!! We also ordered crispy rice with spicy tuna -- to die for!!! And we ordered some uni. All I can say is this place is on top of my list for sushi in the Southbay. read more

Ive thought long and hard as to whether or not I would comment about this place. Should I keep this un-cut gem to myself or share the wealth, put in a good word for this amazing chef, staff and restaurant, but possibly risk the heathens taking over and asking for a "Philly-Roll". Im slightly annoyed there's a California roll on here, but it's light years better than any other place. If you consider yourself a foodie/sushi-snob, you must go here. Book ahead as they are small and always packed with regulars like moi. Get the Uni, Salmon egg, Red Snapper and Saba. But please, afterwards, please keep it to yourself. BeachLife is starting to ruin this town, let's keep this untouched. Sssshhhh. Keep it on the down-low. And tip well. Mahalos, Salty, sushi snob read more

We ended up at this nice and quaint restaurant after returning from Rancho Palos Verdes and looking for authentic Japanese (we brought friends from my home country).... nice and quiet despite the PCH address. We even got recommendations on the sake and how each brand compares to each other. Sushi, yellowtail kama, veggie tempura, all of the dishes very nicely presented. Too many details to share but if there would be a celebration and it needs to be shared in style and in peace, this is the place to do it at. read more

Been here a few times. There's a few tables only (like 6 or 7) so RSVP in advance. Fish is fresh. Service is a bit slow. Ambiance is dim. Despite higher end of prices, would come here again. read more

Food- best omakase ever, from the quality of the fish to the unique flavors to the presentation. Top tier in every way. Service- prompt and polite. Japanese calm and cool. Ambiance-- slightly lacking but the food makes up for it read more

I always come here for special occasions and it never disappoints. This is definitely one of the best sushi places I've ever been to. The attention to detail in the food tells me that the chef has a passion for what he does. This place is expensive but I love that they keep it simple with the decor and instead spend all their energy on what really matters (the food). This is a family ran business and I can tell they put EVERYTHING into it. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Kurisaki is a very authentic Japanese restaurant, with an interesting, focused menu and great preparations. It feels like a family runs it ... they really care. We got pretty basic choices (I was with my 17 year old) but it was great: the California roll was real crab, the spicy tuna crispy rice was amazing (you have to see it) and the Toro roll was great. Our neighbors got omakase menu and it looked awesome. It also seems they have a good sake menu. It is a small place so I would make sure to make a reservation. read more

Pretty sure this place has the best sushi I've ever had. I've been quite a few times now and have brought friends, and we all love to come here. Well, it might be on the more expensive side. I absolutely think it is worth it. It is a small restaurant with limited seating, there is one waitress who tends to all of the tables, and they are only open for a few hours a day. But it is their attention to detail with everything that they serve that keeps me coming back. I typically ordered the assorted sushi, which is more than enough food for me, and I really like the variety of fish it comes with. I have had friends who order the Omakase, which has more food and also more "exotic" selections. And that has always been a hit as well. Most recently I tried the shrimp tempura, and it is the best shrimp tempura I've ever had. it is perfectly fried in a light batter and not oily or greasy at all. I also tried the sunomono, and it was delicious. Will definitely order it again. 10/10 will be back, but highly recommend calling ahead for reservations! read more

Still the best sushi outside of Japan! Kurisake San and his wife are always there to accommodate. Of course as before in my previous review, service can be slow, but that's because he does all of the sushi prep. I think sometimes he has an apprentice (very old school Japanese) that helps out.. read more

Authentic Japanese restaurant! The sushi and appetizers were very delicious! I will definitely eat there again!

Wow great sushi and nice place to eat. I haven't had sushi for a while, so it's hard for me to really compare, but this was really top quality. Prices wasn't even that bad either for the quality you get. Really liked the Japanese uni, didn't know there was a difference read more

Kurisaki - sushi - Japanese Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Quality. Quality. QUALITY!!!!!!! This sushi is AMAZING. They have Toro. TORO! And the wasabi is the real deal...it is freshly hand ground and you can taste that difference. It's smooth and a lot more mild than store made wasabi...you can actually eat it with your sushi and not worry about tearing up or having a burning nose! This is some of the BEST sushi my husband and I have had...and the value is amazing. We ordered 5 rolls and ate every single bit of them up. Spicy Tuna roll; Soft shell crab roll; California roll; Salmon roll; and I can't remember the other one...probably something with albacore because I love albacore. We also had toro sushi...DELISH!!!!! If you're wanting a place that is LEGIT and serves authentic Japanese sushi, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!! The service is great! You feel cared for and not rushed at all. Can not wait to come back for more! read more

Amazing sushi! Service and chefs were wonderful. The restaurant is small and cozy so be sure to make a reservation. It is pricey but very worth it for the quality. Each piece has its own unique flavors. Absolutely recommend! read more

Very good sushi place in the South Bay area. It was not cheap, but the quality was great. I tried the omakase for about $100+. The first round was more on the plain side, but the taste got deeper as more sushi was served, so the experience was getting better. I definitely would come back for the quality. They said the fish of the omakse was from Japan. We found ourselves lucky enough to be able to reserve a table 2 hours before dinner time as they only had about 4-5 tables inside. The crispy rice and toro on the menu were also very surprising. The portions were not big, though. So, if you are on a day to just get stuffed by sushi, you will expect to spend a lot. I will say this is the most recommendable sushi place I would give to my sushi-lover friends who look for high quality. read more

Excellent food, perfect mood: no music , spaced out tables so never in your neighbors conversation. Loved it . Highly recommend it. read more

4.5 stars? Really? Unbelievable. My wife and I both ordered the $60 sushi dinner and it was mediocre at best for the price. I'd say one star above Mitsuwa Market sushi. Sure, we could've sprung for the Omakase at MP, but it was our first time there, so we wanted to get our feet wet first. Our feeling was that every piece of sushi was a cost conscious effort. Not an enjoyable experience. I will say though that the service was very good - our waitress was attentive and friendly. That is the reason for the 2 stars instead of one. We were hoping this local sushi bar was going to be on our regular rotation. Unfortunately not. read more

What a wonderful restaurant. Such incredible quality sushi. You can't go wrong here! Our favorite dishes on the menu: the Hamachi (carpaccio style) with jalapeño and yuzu), Golden Snapper, and literally any other fish on the menu. Everything is so fresh and high quality. read more

The sushi here is absolutely amazing. Can't recall better sushi anywhere and the service was top notch. Like all quality sushi, it's not cheap but it's well worth the price. Definitely coming back. read more

A group of friends and I travel around OC/LA trying out different sushi spots and this place definitely ranks high up there. Super authentic, no frills, just good fresh food. I recommend the omakase and ask for sea bream if it's available. read more

Best Sushi in a 10 mile radius. Family owned and operated. Came here to celebrate the close of an escrow and I'll be back at every closing.

Authentic upscale Japanese sushi restaurant! Well worth the prices for the quality of food and service.

Quality of the food is 5 Star!! Service needs serious attention! Made reservations, walked in and place was at about 25% capacity.. was asked if we had reservations.. like they would turn us away if we didn't. Table set promptly but waited so long to get out saki that an order of salmon sushi actually came out first! Despite the fact we ordered edamame and soup! Order in which things arrived was weird to say the least! My friend never even got there beer and the waitress didn't say anything.. yet it wasn't on our bill.. verifies she knew she didn't bring it & still said nothing. There was even one point the sushi chef brought it over to our table! Like I said before, food was amazing, melt in your mouth deliciousness! Two people approximately $100 before tax & tip. Go and sit at the counter.. maybe they will be more attentive. Moist towels given to clean hands was a great idea! read more

Decided to eat somewhere close before walking to the beach and found this restaurant was nearby. Always willing to try out new spots, I decided to come by to enjoy the selection of sushi they served. List may not be as big as most places but it was delicious none the less. Service was great for a Tuesday as my server, Tomomi, took care of all the customers in a timely fashion. Chef made the food quickly as the customers slowly came in and everything was running like a well oiled machine. Times between food was quick as one plate was done, the next came in, which kept the table uncluttered. Good spot to hit up in the area if you are by Redondo Beach. read more

One of the best in South Bay! High quality and fresh seafood. Go for Omakase and you won't regret. Chiefs are nice. Worth every single penny! read more

Very happy w the service. Quality of fresh fish and price. Definitely going back soon. Recommend

Wow, very good. They were able to squeeze us in on a Friday night. Fish is extremely fresh and the service is on points. We ordered several hot and cold appetizers and they were all delicious. Just be prepared for a hefty bill at the end as prices are reflective of the quality of fish. read more

Definitely best sushi restaurant in Los Angeles!!! Highly recommend to try Omakase menu and Suntory draft beer! Kuri and Tomomi are the best! Thank you for your hospitality! read more

Just had my first take out sushi from here, our usual favorite sushi restaurant. I'm so glad the Chef is keeping the fish quality high like usual during this difficult times. They are so welcoming on the phone when taking take out orders so ordering individual sushi pieces was easy! I'll definitely be taking out more from here during the lockdown. read more

Amazing consistently great sushi. If you like to experience good authentic Japanese sushi, I'd recommend here.
